But did you know the original version of the cartoon was actually about NATO? It was drawn in 1988 by Hughes-Wilson, thank you @catarina@kbin.social for the info: https://www.lambiek.net/artists/h/hughes-wilson_jn.htm
Not sure how one can put alt-text on an image on Lemmy, so I’ll leave here a description of the cartoon:
The perfect European should be (there are comical draws for each nationality):
Cooking… like a Brit. Available… as a Belgian. Talkative… as a Finn. Humorous… as a German. Driving… like the French. Technical… as a Portuguese. Flexible… as a Swede. Famous… as a Luxembourger. Patient… as an Austrian. Controlled… as an Italian. Sober… as the Irish. Humble… as a Spaniard. Generous… as a Dutchman. Organised… as a Greek. Discreet… as a Dane.
PS: Note that some stereotypes are ‘recycled’ from the original NATO version where they were attributed to other nationalities.
I though it was being absolutely brutal with “Hung… as a German”
But that would be true though. 🙃
As a Portuguese, I’m flattered. Damn. Thanks whoever designed that, you’re very kind :)
Edit: wait wait wait… I think OP is Portuguese as well… That explains it 🙃
The credits are on the post. Don’t be too sensitive about it… it’s a joke.
